The Yes on Proposition 8 folks are using some less than honorable tactics to scare businesses who support equality. They have admitted to sending letters to around thirty companies who have donated to 'No on 8' campaigns.
The objective is clear: Scare them by threatening to smear businesses as 'anti traditional marriage' if they don't send an equal donation to their side.
The 'No on 8' workers have also highlighted businesses who have donated to the proponents of the ban, but only in an effort to educate the public, so they may choose to not support such businesses if it goes against their principles. The problem with the other side's tactic is that it is threatening only in order to garner donations, and they do make a direct appeal to receive such donations in the letters.
I'll have to check, but I don't think MANHUNT has received a letter after our donation to No on Proposition 8!
